Day 5/Week2

We had a half day today. I quickly ran out and got some photos on my phone (that were geotagged) of contact points and points of interest for Geology. After that, I hopped in a van and went to take a look at an extremely expensive professional grade ground LiDAR machine. Although I was told that the owner was hesitant to have so many people around it, I was happy that we had the chance to see how it worked. We should be getting the data soon.

Since we got a half day, Jeanette and I were able to do a bit more work for our presentation. We created some new shapefiles as deliverable for other groups to use (since all the other groups have large amounts of data and we mostly just confirmed already recorded geological structure). I look forward to waking up late tomorrow. I am going to do a lot of thinking about an individual project. Since I have shifted from archaeology to ocean hydrology, I have been talking with Greg to figure out some project that we could either split into two or perform different analysis on the same topic.

Before I get too deep into a project, I want to make sure that either Erdas or Ecognition are utilized in my analysis. I want to learn more about those pieces of software than ArcGis at this point.

Happy birthday James, Emily is the best TA ever.
